Homemade oat-tortillas formed in to tacos, then air-fried a bit to firm and crisp-up ‘em up. Absolutely delicious, but also proved to be one of Hercules’ fabled labors in order to get 'em right.

FILLINGS:

  • smoky kidney-bean stew, slow-simmered
  • fresh sriracha
  • sliced green cabbage as the base

TASTE:
Absolutely crispy, crunchy loverly, but this is just WAY too much work, mon’!

KEY CONCLUSIONS:

  • Absolutely, positively, DO NOT delude yourself that a general-mesh sifter is enough to sift your oat-flour. No-- you’ll absolutely need a fine-flour sifter in order to even begin a proper trial of this approach.
  • More to say in future, probably upsetting the wide-world of bread & pasta lovers, but…

      Absolutely agree, right up until I tasted it…
      Mah dude-- oat tacos absolutely ROCK.

      Bigger problem for me is in trying to make them without getting absolutely exhausted…

        You may want to look elsewhere if you need a gluten free specific twist as this one can use wheat flower or spelt wheat flour, but here’s the base for what I do:

        https://www.asweetpeachef.com/sweet-potato-tortillas/

        Super easy with a Vitamix or similar good blender (step 3 after baking I skin and blend them), then I use a dough scraper to man handle it with the flour and salt directly on the table.

        If you make it and feel it needs more fluffiness, add 1/2 cup or 100 grams of baking soda and a bit of salt to start.

        It matches well with melted Queso Oaxaca and a sprig of cilantro dipped in limon btw… classic mexican quesadilla with a twist.

          Hmm.
          Well, I have no particular issues with gluten, maybe because I’m extremely wary of the stuff?

          But I appreciate the education upon such. There cannot be a more ‘lazy vegetarian’ than I am.

    If you hadn’t posted the second picture… I would’ve bet money what you were calling a “tortilla” as not a solid and structurally closer to refried beans.

      Fuck dude, I wish…
      Okay, let me tell you a little story:

      Back in the day, I used to make pizza from scratch. Even with many, many tries, it really was a SUPER challenge to get it right. So many steps to learning, you know? Later, one time there was this new-ish GF of mine who absolutely was jonesing fresh pizza, but… we were living in a sort of ‘commune’ at the time. But she wanted pizza, dangit!

      So I… friggen’ moved heaven & the holy netherworld to make something decent for her, and she tasted it and said: “this is GREAT!”

      Foof, I’m a middle-aged man, now… I just don’t have that prove-it energy, anymore, daggit…
